Guessed this might encourage people and have a few friendly fights, cage matches anyone? :P

AM on 930, hoping to do about 3k by end of day

I've just started, and supremely jealous of your word counts. I'll update again before midnight though and even if have just a thousand under my belt by then I shall catch up with you early birds tomorrow. :)
I so wish we had a write-a-thon meetup somewhere here!

@abathy : 927 is nice! Anything approaching 1000 on the first day is good progress, specially if you're a first timer. :)

So it's past 12 AM, and I had 2275 by midnight.

Anyone who makes a joke of my 4K goal is gonna get it, literally (since we're talking literature here).

of course started, as I took the pen and diary to the window chair, and wrote few lines.. But when I finished, realized, the word count is a tricky game.. I just made only 436 words in the first day..

I'm drowning. No really.

Shakespeare reading marathon + exams + bad cold + nanowrimo = not good.

Help, please?

Hey Chittz,

I'm with you on the drowning bit - got a bad cold + setting up a new house + work with a deadline of 15th Nov + nano

I've figured out that if i write maybe 200-300 words at a time and then forget writing and do other stuff for a two hours or so and come back determined i'll write another 200-300 (one more scene/one more bit of description) - i can manage the 1667 word count (give or take a few) - by 12 at night....

Hope that helps. (You can make up the word count slowly - it's the start of the month - and we've all got a long way to go, no?)

So get writing! :)

Cheers

@arvind1508 leave the linear mode of writing the story. Fill the first few 1000s with your fav scene, the one u always have in mind. It helps :)
